Crossword Genius

Feature a country (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

china

'country' is the definition.
(China is an example)

'feature a' is the wordplay.
'feature' becomes 'chin' (facial feature).
'chin'+'a'='CHINA'

(Other definitions for china that I've seen before include "The most populous country in the world" , "Country - crockery" , "Ceramics; friend" , "World's most populous country" , "Dresden, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Daily Express.
